If you have a funnel in the back trunk, just use that, youll blow a literal head gasket trying to use this thing smh
I used to have one of these cans and used to soak my hands in gasoline trying to fill up my damn mower
You should get a Nobel prize in engineering.
How about when the gas pump won’t allow you to fill a can?
Thanks SO much!! Sanity saved.
Midwest plastic cans are quality. Just scrap the government nozzle . Amazon and ebay sell the "regular" spouts all day.
I wish you'd have done this for people who aren't mechanically-inclined because I have no idea what you're doing when you go to take the spring out and go to put it back on. 🤯😂 It sort of seems like there's parts disappearing and reappearing.
Suxs that can't speed your arse up 1.5x
I just did exactly what you said. Works great now. Thanks.
Buy a just rite or eagle can and be done
Just pop off the red lock, and it's fine. Taking out the spring isn't necessary
Step 1: light it on fire
For everyone not American; their gas cans suck because they’re not allowed to have hoses with a vent tube. That’s why your gas cans like this are fine
They also don’t have any pressure relief so it almost explodes anytime it’s over 75°
Congratulations now we have another law inforced by the biden administration.. no more modified gas cans😂😂😂
You can get replacement nozzles that don't have this bullshit and they flex.
If the threads don't match, just use the nozzle and reuse the nut.
I broke the cap on my spout and they wan't $9.98 for a new spout. I wish I could find a cheap replacement spout.
I've been doing that for years
Step 3 leave filter in, your welcome for the advice
This dumb stuff is the new norm. I replaced my old gas can because the nossle broke apart only to find this gas can is like 100% times worse. I have never wasted so much gas… I'll try your fix. Anything beats this thing.
i like the really old gas cans with the vent on the other side.. i dont use the midland ones. i got the walmart "3 HAND GAS CANS" 1 hand holds the handle 2nd hand bottom of can to pour 3rd.. hand to press in that stupid green button??? which i quickly learned to put cable ties around to stay pressed in so as God made me with 2 🙌 hands i only need 2 now.
Been There & Done That, Good Heads-Up 👍 😊
What if the “filter” you have just removed is actually a flame arrestor? Now you’ve got a very dangerous gas can.
Now it just needs a vent.
Step one – just buy your petrol cans from the UK
EPA and some politicians make things that are abominations. Should be abolished.
I was stuck in the middle of damned traffic trying figure this piece of crap out. A guy jumped out of his truck to help me and he couldn’t figure it out either. I got this junk home and modified it immediately. I also took a metal piece, opened the spring loaded valve and blocked it from closing. Imagine if I’d been alone on the side of the road in the dark and someone grabbed me because this stupid design. (My fuel gauge doesn’t work)
I can spills allot of gas using that style can. Some thoughts on the mods. A can should seal so you don’t loose vapor. With the spring and o ring gone i assume it off gasses now. So in summer heat some of your gas evaporates before you can use it. And the inside screen causes it to overflow when filled too fast, but not sure if it plays s role as a flame arrestor in event of a fire.
